The excited multitude, of whom a large proportion were South Carolinians and Georgians, then sojourning in Baltimore, followed the troops all the way from one railroad station to the other, offering the most indecent insults; shouting, Welcome to Southern graves! uttering the most blasphemous language, and throwing a few missiles which slightly injured some of the men. A colored man, over sixty years of age, This man, supposed to have been a runaway slave, was known by the name of Nick Biddle. He had resided for a number of years in Pottsville, where he sometimes sold oysters in the winter and ice-cream in the bummer. He attended the Washington Artillery company on its target and other excursions. His excursion through Baltimore was never pleasant in his memory. He was heard to say that he would go through the infernal regions with the Artillery, but would never again go through Baltimore. His was almost the first blood shed in the rebellion, that of the wounded at Fort Sumt

uthward and hastened to Romney. Wallace returned to Cumberland, and was joyfully received. He appealed to both Morris and McClellan at Grafton, and to Patterson at Hagerstown, for re-enforcements and supplies, but neither of them had any to spare. There was danger at all points and weakness at all points. Only the Governor of Pennsylvania could afford relief. He sent Wallace some ammunition, and ordered two regiments of the Pennsylvania Reserves, See note 2, page 520. under Colonel Charles J. Biddle, with a field-battery under Captain Campbell, to take post on the frontier of Maryland, but not to step over the line unless the Indianians should be attacked. The Pennsylvanians were restive under the restraints of this portion of the order. Campbell, says Dr. Stevenson, ascertained exactly where the line of division ran, and camping his men close by, with cutting practical sarcasm, planted his guns so that the wheels were in Pennsylvania and the muzzles in Maryland. --Indiana

when, in reply to their inquiries, I told them that I cordially sustained the President's emancipation proclamation, they betrayed a little nervousness, but did not for a moment forget their propriety. They admitted it to be the most serious danger that has yet threatened them, but they were all hopeful that it would not be sustained in the North with sufficient unanimity to enforce it. Their conversation on this point bore a striking similarity to the speeches of Frank Hughes and Charles J. Biddle; and had you heard them converse, without seeing them, you would have supposed that I was having a friendly confab with a little knot of Pennsylvania Breckinridge politicians. Of the two, I am sure, you would have respected the rebels the most; for they are open foes, and seal their convictions with their lives, and they openly avow their greater respect for open, unqualified supporters of the war over those who oppose every war measure, profess fraternal sympathy with the South, and

She asked where you were, and I said in Philadelphia, at which she expressed a little surprise, when I told her you had a brigade of infantry that required as much talent to command and as close attention to duties as our brigades.

that a fight was inevitable. Affairs at Martinsburg, Va. We take the following from a letter dated Martinsburg, Va., July 10: The arrest of two reporters caused some sensation in town yesterday. Mr. Rea, of the Associated Press, and particularly of the New York Herald, and some young gentleman, representing himself as Mr. Underhill, reporter for the Associated Press and the New York Times. Lieut. Kirkpatrick, of the 23d Regiment, shot his servant (a white soldier, named Biddle,) dead, yesterday, by accident. The weather here is exceedingly hot at noonday, and some of our men are suffering greatly for want of shade, as only about four tents for each company were brought across the Potomac. Col. Patterson's Regiment is accepted for three years, and the officers received their commissions yesterday. An incident occurred the other day while I was standing by.

The Federal Congress.Exciting Debate. In the Washington House of Representatives, on Friday last, the 12th, the following proceedings took place, in which it will be seen some little feeling was displayed between two of its members: Mr. Vallandigham offered a preamble and resolution, substantially as follows: Whereas, It is rumored that Messrs. Gilman Marston, of New Hampshire; James E. Kerrigan, of New York; Chas. J. Biddle, of Pennsylvania; Edward McPherson, of Pennsylvania, and Samuel E. Curtis, holding seats in this House, have been sworn into the military service under the authority of the United States; and whereas, James H. Campbell, of Pennsylvania, has also been admitted on the floor of this House, he holding a military commission: Therefore, be it. Resolved, That the Committee on Elections be instructed to inquire and report, without unnecessary delay, whether the gentlemen above named, or any of them, claiming seats here and at the same time holding mi
